Is possible to open lock 2?

yes, in addition to the official way to open locks that n0kia service centers use with TDB4 or TDF-4(for wintesla) security boxes, there is two secrets methods:

1. Opening the phone and adding a chip inside phone motherboard. But you will loose any warranty of your phone.
2. Using a special software with a MBUS n0kia cable. I have not this software. Please don't bother me asking me about that. The only thing i know about that is that a friend is removing lock 2 using a special software. He don't make this for money, only for fun.

Can I unlock my n0kia 5110/6110/6150?

5110 -> you can unlock your 5110 only if lock 2 and 3 is opened

6110/6150 -> yes, generally n0kia 6110 and 6150 have not lock 2 closed so you can use winlock or any other winlock clone (winopen, raluka, n0kia liberator).

What is the difference between winlock and other winlock clones like raluka, winopen, etc.?

Raluka, winopen or n0kia liberator are winlock modified using a windows resource editor, with a windows resource editor you can edit, add or remove windows controls to an existing program, you don't need use source code to recompile it, only .dll or .exe to edit. Original Raluka in addition was protected with a Softsentry software protection, very easy to crack to whatever amateur cracker.

How can i check what locks have my phone closed?

There is 2 methods:

1. Use winlock to see the state of the locks, pressing Read Info.The Counter is the number of times that you have tried unlock your phone using an incorrect master code.
2. You can check it entering an imaginary mastercode on your phone but, it's not recommended because if you try enter a code 5 times your phone will not work anymore. By example, if you press at your phone #pw+1234567890+2# (note that '#', 'p', 'w' and '+' characters must be selected from '*' key) and your phone give you Code Error then your phone have lock 2 closed, if you get the message SIM Restriction Off your phone have lock 2 opened.
